Smoke Shop Product Checklist

Smoke shops have come a long way. The old image of a headshop with psychedelic tapestries and a few quirky hand pipes still has its charm, and yes, those products still have a place, but today's shops run deeper and more varied than that. From the latest disposable vapes to eco friendly rolling papers, a complete shop covers a lot of ground. Here is a checklist of the categories you want on your shelves, so you can audit your lineup and fill the gaps. The one wholesale tip to keep in mind, based on our 20+ years of distribution: do not be afraid to go bold and stock what the market is actually asking for.

Glass Collection

When customers picture a smoke shop, they picture the glass. Their eyes go straight to the pieces that are durable, colorful, and built to perform. A strong glass selection is about both style and quality. Empire Glassworks, for example, works in high quality borosilicate glass with detailed designs across mini tubes, hand pipes, bowls, beakers, and carb caps, including collaborations with brands like Puffco. For something more eye catching, Stundenglass offers the Gravity Infuser, a water pipe that rotates a full 360 degrees and uses gravity to drive its airflow. A varied glass wall gives customers a reason to stop and look.

Disposable Vapes

Disposables are one of the biggest categories in your shop. These single use devices come in a wide range of brands, sizes, and builds, and one of their main selling points is puff count per device. From salt nicotine to nicotine free options, a solid disposable selection keeps a fast moving, impulse friendly category stocked and ready on your shelves.

Vaporizers

Plenty of your customers want a quality session from their favorite oils, herbs, and concentrates, so your vaporizer lineup needs to deliver. Stock devices with the features shoppers look for, like variable voltage settings and fast preheat. Versatile options earn their place, such as the Exxus VRS 3 in 1 or the Wulf Mods Evolve Maxxx, which let customers run more than one material from a single device. Round it out with cartridge and dry herb options like the Exxus Snap VV, Sutra SILO, and Wulf Mods Flora so you have something for every kind of session.

CBD Items

CBD has become a category shoppers expect to find. The 2018 Farm Bill created the legal framework that brought hemp derived CBD onto smoke shop shelves, and federal hemp rules have continued to evolve since, so stock lab tested product and follow the rules that apply where you operate. From vapes and edibles to creams and pet care, a curated CBD selection broadens your customer base and adds another reason for shoppers to visit.

Lighters and Torches

No smoke shop is complete without a fun, varied lighter and torch wall. Carry firing tools with adjustable flame height for dab sessions, and lean toward wind resistant options that work well for portable use. A few standout designs add personality to your counter and make for easy impulse grabs.

Rolling Papers, Cones, and Blunt Wraps

Round out your shop with a full wall of rolling papers and wraps. From organic hemp wraps to 24k gold papers, these consumables deliver slow, even burns and bring customers back again and again. Stock a range of brands and sizes, including options like Vibes Fine Rolling Papers, cones, natural leaf wraps, and premium papers, so your shoppers always find their preferred roll.

Check Off the List

Work through this checklist and you become the one stop shop for everything your customers need, whether they are after concentrates, herbs, oils, or the gear that pulls the biggest clouds. A complete, current lineup is what keeps shoppers choosing your store over the one down the street.
